I AM
a design ethnographer and research maker cultures in times of polycrisis. In my PhD at the Institute for Sociology and Cultural Organisation at Leuphana University Lüneburg, I explored urban living labs in the rural areas of North-Eastern Germany and investigated how they mobilise design as an agent of eco-social change. I have a background in integrative design, experimental typography and media studies.

Every year the Bertelsmann Foundation publishes the Social Justice Index. The cross-national survey comprises 27 quantitative and eight qualitative indicators, each associated with one of the six dimensions of social justice: 1. poverty prevention, 2. equitable education, 3. labor market access, 4. social cohesion and non-discrimination, 5. health, and 6. intergenerational justice.

We wanted to confront and disrupt people from their daily routine. Thus we brought the data back to where it came from — the public space. For each of the 10 data sets we selected its appropriate medium and place in the city.
